Since last February 19th and until May 16th 2016, French artist Jean-Michel Alberola (born in 1953) settles in the Palais de Tokyo. This representative of abstract and figurative art made himself known in the early 1980s, thanks to his sense of detail. As he evoked during an interview in 2014, to the Entre magazine: "I just do details, and that’s all I do. I quite simply count on the details adding up." This retrospective entitled "L’aventure des détails" presents painter’s former works, but also new creations. Several topics are broached by the artist, as the time, the displacements, the history and the state of the world. His works gather major figures of great thinkers, modelled on Karl Marx, Simone Weil or Robert Louis Stevenson. Unclassifiable, Jean-Michel Alberola was last Salon de Montrouge’s guest of honour, organised in May 2015, for the whole of his works (paintings, movies, objects, installations, neon lights, texts, painted walls, leaflets, sculptures and editions).

"Jean-Michel Alberola: L’aventure des détails" exhibition, from Feburary 19th to May 16th 2016.
Open daily from noon to midnight, except on Tuesday.
Full rate: €10 / Free for underage.
